Book Synopsis
Examines different positions of knowledge insider and outsider to explore what understanding Islam means in the 21st century

Trade Review
"This book unpacks with classic sociological discernment key binaries in unfinished debates on knowledge production within the humanities and social sciences, like insiders vs. outsiders and understanding vs. explanation. Supported by an astutely jargon-free thematic bricolage, Turner's tour de force combs one of the thorniest scholarly battlefields of our times. It helps carve out treasured clearings for helping the sociology of Islam out of the murky epistemic swamplands of proliferating positionalities." -Armando Salvatore, Professor of Global Religious Studies, McGill University
